My grandmother made the stewed potatoes all the time during my childhood…we are from the deep south..good ole Georgia ❤
the recipe doesn’t say how many apples or pounds of apples or slices. Help?
4 to 5 quarts, depends on the size of your slow cooker. There are 4 cups in a quarter. So 16 cups in 4 quarts. 20 cups in 5 quarts. I hope this helps!
